Production Capabilities
No matter the application, stable and controlled production is critical. With ISO 9001 certified quality management systems, strict adherence to Good Manufacturing Practice principles, and extensive HACCP-compliant production areas, our manufacturing environments are designed for consistency and reliability
Controlled Production
Quality Management
We pursue a zero-defect mentality throughout all levels of our organization. All Spoton production sites operate under certified ISO 9001 quality management systems, backed by extensive in-line and application-specific quality controls.
Additional tools such as Total Productive Management (TPM), Lean Six Sigma, customer experience scorecards, and a global exchange of best practices further foster consistently high performance across our manufacturing network.
Risk Mitigation
Safeguarding reliability and continuity is a key priority for our production teams. We make full use of failure modes and effects analyses and criticality analyses (FMEA/FMECA) to proactively identify areas that can impact our ability to meet customer commitments. Further continuity is ensured by internal second source measures.
Spoton machine operators are also empowered to carry out direct risk assessments and preventative maintenance to eliminate unexpected equipment downtimes.
Controlled Sourcing
Material availability and reliability are the cornerstone of any manufacturing operation, and Spoton is no exception.
We practice qualified and controlled sourcing of raw materials, including ISCC PLUS certified polymers and biopolymers.
We pursue a multi-supplier strategy for all critical raw materials and have qualified local suppliers in all regions.
Management of Change
Changing equipment, raw materials, suppliers or production processes can have significant and unexpected product impacts.
We place great emphasis on safeguarding quality and consistency through comprehensive internal Management of Change (MoC) programs – not only for our customers, but for our own organization.
Continuous Improvement
Our companywide continuous improvement programs play a key role in creating an environment where manufacturing teams are empowered to improve individual processes on a day-to-day basis.
We combine tools and approaches from a variety of proven management systems, including Total Productive Management (TPM) and the Toyota kata approach.
Redundant Asset Base
Even the best assets need a break from time to time for upgrades, maintenance or repair.
Our redundant global asset base gives us the flexibility and scope needed to carry out necessary work and compensate for unexpected downtime without incurring delivery delays and other issues.
Production Capabilities
